mass transport in plants experiments Flashcards
what is the first step of the ringing experiment
a ring of bark along the phloem are removed from the tree trunk
what is the second step of the tracing experiment
this is absorbed during photosynthesis to produce sugars,which are also radioactively labelled
what is the third step of the tracing experiment
samples were then cut and placed on x-ray film,which detects radio active material
what is the fourth step of the tracing experiment
the section containing the radioactively-labelled sugars was detected,highlighting where the phloem was located
what is the first step of the tracing experiment
plants provided with radioactively-labelled co2
what is the second step of the ringing experiment
trunk swells above removed ring,and the liquid was formed to contain sugars
what is the third step of the ringing experiment
showed that it was the phloem that transports sugars as they cant be transported due to the removal of the phloem
